That all stainless look just looks so aviation related, sort of like a piece of the cockpit dash. Did you check the serial number?

Breitling have no record of any serials before 1989 so there is nothing to check but its all gen and above board I know the two sellers who had it recently and the two before them its all above board, I will post pics of it when I have it here including movement pics.

paul you have a pm by the way

I assumed that you had checked serials to know that it was a 66.

I actually found that a little surprising because 66 is early (though not unheard of) for the large subs. Definitely check it out.

Does BUK still do these? Many distributors / national service centres have stopped directly supporting the vintage. The serial number should be readable anyway and then you can check the year.
